I say “right now” because I know mine changes on a daily basis. [Patti Labelle and Cyndi Lauper Sing “Time After Time”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpM1ATZQH5A) ---

[Fainting goats.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we9_CdNPuJg) My son showed it to me the other day, and it’s the funniest damn thing I’ve seen all month. Then I had to try to explain how natural selection could explain a goat that faints when it sees food or predators. (My WAG: It wouldn’t. People get involved and help mutants live and reproduce when they probably wouldn’t in the wild.) ---

It’s all the QI clips posted by [this guy](http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=raemiemoo). It’s such a shame we can’t get that show in the states. ---

Some guys did a pixellation/ stop motion thing and their pal wrote a song for it and it’s very well done: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJzU3NjDikY](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJzU3NjDikY) ---

[Vader Sessions.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A0rwG39Jzk) They took sound clips from James Earl Jones’ _other_ movies and put them in the original _Star Wars_ (Episode 4). Expertly done, and hilarious! Wait until you have ten minutes to watch the whole thing though… ---

My favorite clip right now? That would be Eurythmics performing an amazing version of "There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) on the Parkinson’s show. [click here and enjoy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvNpvM2Nf28) ---

Just to shill a little, Tommy Emmanuel appeared on show 349 of the [Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour](http://www.woodsongs.com/showlist.asp) and performed both of those songs (and quite a few more). Well worth listening to or watching. ---

Oh, there’s so, so many to choose from… But, at the moment, probably either [MST3k Evangelion](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDmVTPULgYA) or [Interbank Traveler’s Checks](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN4oPsWexrc). ([Vader Being a Smartass](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc-X6cP2ZYQ) gets an honorable mention.) ---

The Amp’d (mobile phone) commercial with the geeky Asian guy rapping to the mirror has cracked me up the last 50 times I’ve watched it. I wish the audio was louder, though. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiHBqOll7js) ---

I have different favorites all the time. The ones I was gonna link to in this thread was a really cool episode of Soul Train, but all those clips have been taken off YouTube, it seems. Here’s a clip from the japanese Nintendo Wii launch. It’s fun to enjoy all the excitement though you don’t understand the language.

[Harvey Mandel](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHJQhD-tUds) My favorite little-known working bluesman. As the comments note, he was the creator of a style often credited to Eddie Van Halen. I’m always delighted when he plays locally. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-youtube-clip-right-now/382688.md?page=2)
